The length of a spring is increased by 2.5 cm the elastic potential energy stored in the spring is U . If the length is increasedby 5 cmits elastic potential energy become ……

Answer»

`U/2 `
4U
2U
`U/4`

SOLUTION :The elastic potential energy STORED in the springis `U = 1/2 ky^(2)`
` :. U PROP y^(2)`
` :. (U_(2))/(U_(1)) = ((y_(2))/(y_(1)))^(2) = ((5.0)/(2.5))^(2) = (2)^(2) = 4 `
` U_(2) = 4U "" [ :. U_(1) = U] `
